Janet dedicated her life to serving others, working as a waitress for many years, where her warm smile and attentive care made a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. In addition to her years in the service industry, she worked as a consultant for Home Interior, a job that allowed her to pursue her true passion for decorating. Janet was known for her beautiful taste and keen eye for detail, transforming spaces with her personal touch. 

Her love for family was unparalleled. She took great joy in hosting family gatherings, creating memories that her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will cherish forever. Janet's home was always a place of warmth, laughter, and togetherness. She found passion in hand writing greeting cards to family and friends. She was a proud member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Raymore, Missouri.
